Read the following passage carefully before you choose your answers.  \nThus there are two books from whence I collect my divinity; besides that written one of God, another of his servant nature, that universal and public manuscript that lies expansed unto  \nLine the eyes of all: those that never saw him in the one, have discovered  \n(5) him in the other. This was the scripture and theology of the  \nheathens1: the natural motion of the sun made them more admire him than its supernatural station2 did the children of Israel; the ordinary effects of nature wrought more admiration in them than in the other all his miracles. Surely the heathens knew better  \n(10) how tojoin and read these mystical letters than we Christians,  \nwho cast a more careless eye on these common hieroglyphics, and disdain to suck divinity from the flowers of nature. Nor do I so forget God as to adore the name of nature; which I define not, with the schools, to be the principle of motion and rest, but that  \n(15) straight and regular line, that settled and constant course the  \nwisdom of God hath ordained the actions of his creatures, according to their several kinds. To make a revolution every day is the nature of the sun, because of that necessary course which God hath ordained it, from which it cannot swerve but by a faculty  \n(20) from the voice which first did give it motion. Now this course of  \nnature God seldom alters or perverts, but like an excellent artist, hath so contrived his work, that with the selfsame instrument, without a new creation, he may effect his obscurest designs. Thus he sweeteneth the water with a wood,3 preserveth the creatures  \n(25) in the ark, which the blast of his mouth might have as easily  \ncreated; for God is like a skillful geometrician, who, when more easily and with one stroke of his compass he might describe or divide a right line, had yet rather do this in a circle or longer way, according to the constituted and fore-laid principles of his art.  \n(30) Yet this rule of his he doth sometimes pervert, to acquaint the  \nworld with his prerogative, lest the arrogancy of our reason should question his power, and conclude he could not. And thus I call the effects of nature the works of God, whose hand and instrument she only is; and therefore to ascribe his actions unto  \n1Ancient peoples  \n2 God made the sun stand still while Joshua conducted a battle.

I hold there is a general beauty in the works of God, and therefore no deformity in any kind or species  \n(40) of creature whatsoever.
